Expert Reviews
A look at the base blend of Continuum's 2023 Proprietary Red suggests that great things are to come. Right now, the proportions are 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, but that could still change a bit prior to bottling next year. Cherries and berries swirl together easily on the nose, joined by hints of violets and sage, while the medium to full-bodied palate is intensely concentrated yet not heavy, exhibiting fantastic length and richness on the finish.
Looking at the 2023 Proprietary Red Wine it shows the purity and finesse of the vintage with an almost Lafite-like sense of finesse and elegance. Based on 46% Cabernet Sauvignon 41% Cabernet Franc 7% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot and aged 22 months in 56% new French oak with 43% neutral French oak and 1% concrete amphora it offers cassis freshly sharpened pencils graphite and savory tobacco and floral nuances. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate has a flawlessly balanced mouthfeel ultra-fine tannins and a great finish. It brings just a hint of that classic mountain-like terroir in its concentration yet the purity finesse and sheer class are truly exceptional. Give it 4-6 years and this will keep for 30 years or more. Drink 2029-2054.
